    A story that is thought provocative and misdirection to lead to an unexpected denouement

    The acting was excellent and the typical Provençal surrounding makes this an enjoyable moment. It reminded me of my summers spent in the south of France.

    The story is hiding an unbearable truth, making the movie memorable. It, no doubt, will generate future debate on life, middle life crisis, existentialism as well as the fragile equilibrium of our lives if they become disjointed.

    I was especially impressed by Charlotte Vega's acting and hope to see her again on the screen.

    A missed opportunity

    I so wanted to like this film. It's hard for early career feature film makers to raise money to make a film but sadly it's not very good. Lots of very expositional dialogue and shots of landscape that do nothing to move the story forward. I love drama and I write it. But it has to have pace, story has to move forward. The protagonist's character is very flat and I hope that it's down to inexperience rather than their peak. It' became really difficult to continue watching and I eventually gave up. I'm not sure what film the reviewers who gave this film 7,8,9,10. Either they are friends or they watched a completely different story. By all means watch it, but only to understand where the story and dialogue needs improving. Sorry Ben.

    Tragic and passionate

    This movie captured me completely within first 10 minutes! Amazing acting, great camera work and passionate love/ lust. Beautiful French town upon which this film was set is filled with great scenery and beautiful nature. The characters were well developed and fascinating. All in all this indie film is a must see!

    Oh dear

    I watched this after checking it's score here. Hmm, big mistake. I don't know who gave the high ratings but I suspect they have never actually seen a good film. This is rubbish. It's obvious where it is heading and it's tasteless. The points are for the French setting which was welcome in these times of Covid. I recommend that you watch something else, Something with a plot, good dialogue and no plot holes. Also as a bit of advice, if you enter into a relationship with someone, ask them about themselves. The characters in this film forgot to do that. Oops.

    The Biggest Gut Punch You May Ever Witness

    I watched this film recently at the Madrid International Film Festival and was very intrigued by its trailer. What starts out as a slow burn of a film slowly unveils a deep and rich relationship between an older man and a younger girl. At first it's hard to believe what this 20 year old girl sees in this older man but the actress, Charlotte Vega, a true star in the making, makes you BELIEVE in her love for this man. The two of them spend a wonderful weekend together in a southern town of France where they strengthen their bond and love for one another...shot beautifully by a very talented Director of Photography. A "Before Sunrise" with an age gap.

    However, and I will say this without spoiling anything, it delivers an ending that will punch you right in the gut and make you regret feeling anything that you felt earlier for these characters. An ending so twisted/amazing that it cannot be ignored. I wish the filmmakers luck and recommend everyone see this film, but you will only be able to see it once.
